The Hillside Aluminium smelter in KwaZulu-Natal marked its thirtieth anniversary this month, while indicating that it is seeking another competitive long-term electricity agreement to sustain operations. Hillside’s current negotiated pricing agreement has been key to the business, but has also proved controversial for its opacity and for having been sustained while other consumers faced steep hikes and power cuts. As with other electricity intensive operations in South Africa, Hillside wants both a low tariff and progressively cleaner supply.
